the rims are a bit on the expensive side. but i do welcome the wider rim. i run 25mm gp4000s with the 23mm hed rim and this would be perfect match for those tires. weight is not that bad - hed 23mm version usually float around 450g, 463g is not a big deal.

i might build a wheelset around this rim with the new alchemy hubs DA11 sp.

bumping this thread with more info and pics. so the new rim is called Begium+ video says in stock, in about 6 weeks.

i would love to see what a 25mm tire looks like on that rim. i already run 25mm on their 23mm rim and love it. maybe the version without the machined sidewalls for a road bike project with the trp hy/rd calipers and carbon ceramic rotors from kettle cycles.

I wonder what they mean by "it may take several years before the new width is adopted for the road". Do they mean until they advertise it for road, or until it gets popular? Seems a lot like a more reasonably-priced Zipp 101. If it's available as a rim or on a non-disc hubset, wouldn't it be "adopted for the road" as soon as someone puts a pair on a bike?
